Elastic / ELK Stack

26Dec

Popularly known as ELK Stack has been recently re-branded as Elastic Stack. It is a powerful collection of three open source tools: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.

These three different products are most commonly used together for log analysis in different IT environments. Using ELK Stack you can perform centralized logging which helps in identifying the problems with the web servers or applications. It lets you search through all the logs at a single place and identify the issues spanning through multiple servers by correlating their logs within a specific time frame.
